Organic traffic is free and great BUT if you want to really build an authority blog where you are seen as the expert in your field you have to build a group of fans, subscribers, and repeat visitors as well.

You want people who share and interact with you and your content. I have built quite a bit of niche sites and most people that come from Google are looking for a solution to a question or problem and hardly if ever comment of share your content let alone revisit your blog after they get their question/problem solved.

In this article I want to quickly share with you 3 places that I syndicate my content and where you can too to start to build an audience, make connections with other bloggers and get more traffic.

3 Content Syndication Networks:

1. Blogengage.com: (<- link opens in a new window) Blog engage is one of the most popular blogging communities on the web. This is a place where a lot of the top bloggers hang out and publish their content.

How would you like to hang out with Ana Hoffman from TrafficGenerationCafe, Ileane Smith from BasicBlogTips, Kim Roach from BuzzBlogger and a load of other bloggers who get THOUSANDS of visitors. Not to mention shares and comment counts in the HUNDREDS for just about each article they publish.

Blogengage does have a fee of $30 to get started but if you are at all serious about building an authority blog why not follow the foot steps of other successful blogs.

Not only that but syndicating your articles on Blogengage gives you a backlink from a Pagerank 5 root domain website.

2. Bloginteract.com: (<- link opens in a new window) Blog interact is just like Blog engage and another place where the high authority bloggers hang out.

It is also a Pagerank 3 Root Domain website so you’re getting some high quality backlinks. Make sure you are not just submiting your content but also engaging other bloggers content and “voting” for their content.

Bloginteract is 100% FREE

3. BizSugar.com: (<- link opens in a new window) Biz sugar is yet another blogging community where a lot of blogger hang out and I actually came across biz sugar when I was hanging out on Blog interact and I came across Wong Chendong from TheBadBlogger and when I went to post a comment on his article I saw a trackback underneath the comment box from Biz Sugar.

Wong is a highly active blogger and if he’s syndicating in a certain place I will be too. It is also a very nice Pagerank 6 Root Domain website

Biz Sugar is 100% FREE

A Bonus Tip To Get Even More Traffic:

Why not take your traffic to another level. If these top blogger’s are hanging out on these sites you can be rest assured they are getting some great traffic to their blogs. You can see that from the amount of shares and comments they get on each article.

So what I do is not just submit my articles to the above networks I also browse some of the articles in the “Top News” and “Recently Published” area and read, comment and share their content.

Most of the blogs on these networks have the “Comment Luv” Plugin installed which means it will post the title of your latest article below your comment.

Just think about it if you go where other bloggers hang out and you start to visit their blog, comment and share their content there will be a few who in turn will do the same for you. Not only that but you will ALSO get traffic from the comments you leave behind.

I hope this article helps you build more relationships, get more traffic and increase your audience.

Great post. I definitely will be following this up. I have 1 e-commerce site and 2 blogs which are not in the IM niche. Can I still get involved in these 3 recommendations of yours? I always thought that the backlinks needed to be also targeted.

You still CAN publish your articles on the sites since there are some people who publish articles outside of the IM niche. As for the amount of traffic you will get I’m not sure since I haven’t tried publishing other type of content You will still get high PR backlinks.

I get backlinks from all over not necessarily from a website in the same topic as my website. You may want to take a look at my backlink fridays series.

Hey Joshua thanks so much for adding blog engage into your article. I’m a member on all the sites you mentioned but I don’t use bizsugar much. I’ve heard it’s a really great place if you’re a business blogger or business owner. I guess that’s why it’s named bizsugar biz as in business.
I’m also a member at blog interact bryan is a great guy and has worked hard on building his community. I don’t see or hear from him much anymore so maybe the sites not doing well I don’t know. I just normally here from him a few times every month and haven’t heard anything in the longest time.

Syndication is the way to go in my opinion it allows us more time to engage with our readers and blog. This is why I was the first one to offer it and don’t forget it!

Glad to share what you’ve put together man and don’t worry I won’t forget you were the first on scene LOL also the one that brings me the most traffic of the 3.

Yes I’m on Byan’s list and he’s still pretty active always sending out updates. If I remember correctly I think he got hacked a few weeks back and has also been getting a lot of spam submissions he’s been having to crack down on so he’s still working at it.

Hey that’s really great news Joshua. I’m glad the services are working out for you. I’ve put a lot of time and effort into building our community so it means a lot when I ear positive feedback like that from our members.

Recently I found we can get backlinks only by publishing quality content and living copies on Internet.because as we leave content with link back to our website so it will increase link popularity of our website.Second if our content will have quality then people will like it and use on their website.So through this way we can get huge amount of backlinks.So that’s why I am giving much more value to quality content and always spend some time with my quality content writers to taught then something new in industry.
Many thanks for having a great discussion here.

I agree Amit. Writing great quality articles does help in getting natural backlinks by other webmasters linking to your blog. And it also doesn’t make sense to rank high in the search engines if the quality of your content does not provide the reader some kind of value or solution to their problem
